The attack on the Traditional Latin Mass since the

The attack on the Traditional Latin Mass since the publication of Traditionis Custodes has impacted the lives of Faithful Catholics all over the world. It’s easy for us as laypeople to focus on the hurt and complications we will face or are already facing. But what of those priests who have embraced the celebration of this liturgy? Those who have benefited in their own spiritual life and priesthood, if not having fully renewed it? Will they not hurt too, if their ability to offer the Traditional Latin Mass is taken from them?

With that said, a novena is approaching with an opportunity to petition Our Lord for much needed graces and spiritual benefits through the intercession of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. St. Therese had a special devotion to the priesthood. Though living an obscure life tucked away in a French cloister as a Carmelite nun, St. Therese’s life was spent in offering prayer and sacrifice for the priesthood. Of course, she has carried her love for priests with her into heaven and is known by many of them for her special care in their regard. The novena begins on September 25 and ends on October 3.

Come, Holy Ghost, and fill the hearts of Thy faithful.

Happy birthday, Catholic Church! 1,989 years young!

On Friday, March 18, 2022, His Excellency Bishop Edward Malesic of the Diocese of Cleveland, prayed the Stations of the Cross at Historic St Rocco Church.

The bishop gave a wonderful sermon about his personal attachment to the Stations.

He also said: “The crucifix is the sign of what happened; the Eucharist is the sign of what is.”

With 70% of Catholics not believing in the Real Presence, this is the teaching we need from our hierarchy.

Fr James Mayer, O de M, pastor of St Rocco in Clev

Fr James Mayer, O de M, pastor of St Rocco in Cleveland, distributing Holy Communion on the solemnity of St Rocco, 2021. St Rocco parish cultivates devotion to the Eucharist. The communion rail is used at all Masses.

“In order that the faithful, therefore, aware of the divine honours due to this heavenly Sacrament, may derive therefrom abundant fruit of grace and escape the most just anger of God, pastors should explain with the greatest diligence all those things which may seem calculated more fully to display its majesty.” —The Catechism of the Council of Trent

Escape the most just anger of God? So if pastors explain with due diligence the doctrine of the Blessed Sacrament, the wrath of God can be avoided? Is it starting to make sense, Friends?

70% of Catholics have no faith in the Real Presence. We’re told it’s the source and summit of our faith. This doesn’t make sense.

From the Catechism of St. Pius X 1 Q: WHAT IS THE

From the Catechism of St. Pius X
1 Q: WHAT IS THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST?
A: The Eucharist is a sacrament in which, by the marvelous conversion of the whole substance of bread into the Body of Jesus Christ, and that of wine into His precious Blood, is contained truly, really, and substantially, the Body, the Blood, the Soul and Divinity of the same Lord Jesus Christ, under the appearance of bread and wine as our spiritual food.

2 Q: IN THE EUCHARIST IS THERE THE SAME JESUS CHRIST WHO IS IN HEAVEN, AND WHO WAS BORN ON EARTH OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN?
A: Yes, in the Eucharist there is truly the same Jesus Christ who is in heaven, and who was born on earth of the Blessed Virgin.

3 Q: WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IN THE EUCHARIST JESUS CHRIST IS REALLY PRESENT?
A: I believe that in the Eucharist Jesus Christ is truly present, because He Himself has said it, and holy Church teaches it.

✝

According to Pew, 7 in 10 Catholics believe that the bread and wine used in Mass become only a symbol of Jesus Christ.

43% of the Catholics who believe Holy Communion is just symbolic DO NOT KNOW that the Church teaches transubstantiation. And 1 in 5 just reject it anyway.

6 in 10 Catholics attend Mass weekly and believe in transubstantiation. And one third of those don't even believe in the Real Presence.

Pray for our bishops and our priests. This problem can only be fixed by them.

Feast of Christ the King, St Stephen Church, 2019.

Feast of Christ the King, St Stephen Church, 2019.

One of the reasons for the placement of the Feast of Christ the King on the last Sunday in October, as originally promulgated, was that it would ordinarily fall before the feasts of All Saints and All Souls. Strictly speaking, a king precedes his court.

When Pope Pius XI wrote Quas Primas, instituting the feast day, he said, “before celebrating the triumph of all the Saints, we proclaim and extol the glory of him who triumphs in all the Saints and in all the Elect.”

The photograph shows a moment from the communion of the Faithful. Poll after poll reflects the dire state of belief among Catholics in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

There is perhaps no more simple or easily adopted means by which that great tragedy could begin to be overcome than by returning to the reception of Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue.

Photo is from the feast of Corpus Christi at St Rocco in Cleveland, Ohio.

Today, August 22, 2021, the pastor told the congregation that he was with Bishop Malesic over the last few days. The bishop wanted the pastor to assure the TLM Faithful that he loves them, is thankful for them and prays for them. He said he is discerning the implementation of Traditionis Custodes because it isn’t exactly clear and, as the pastor said, has some holes.

We thank the bishop for his kind words and hope that his discernment with allow the growth of the TLM in this diocese to continue without any changes.

A sad day for sure, but let this fuel us to be even more vigilant about the Faith, more persuasive about the Truth, and more present at the Holy Sacrifice.

The background image is from a Solemn Mass at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Cleveland, Ohio. Through her intercession on this her feast, may God’s will be done, and may the Traditional Mass continue to edify the Faithful.
